When I got her she was the size of my hand and scared. I put her on my shoulder next to my neck and she calmed down immediately. She's stuck to me ever since and 'crashes' in the waste basket next to me -- hence earning the nickname 'trash cat' and preventing me from totally emptying said basket completely.

ooooo Sheherazad? luvs that one :)

Yes! I have a classical playlist for Winamp that's about 30 hours long.. great stuff to listen to while rendering. :coolsmile:

About the only kind of music I don't like is rap and most hip-hop.. I can do without it. :-S Heck, I even get countrified on occasion, yeeee-hawww! (cowboy emote)

Ugh, putting a distant light into the scene fogs EVERYTHING with volumetrics.. that's going to be annoying to deal with, if I can't exclude a ligth from the effect. :blank: Back to the manual!

Change it to DS took away the manual files and is forcing me to use DIM complaint thread....

For the beta, at least for now.

& that makes it ok? They LIE (not the vendor) according to their own advert. I did register a complaint. My main beef is not this time, but I have a feeling this is a sign of things to come. Gots to nip this in the bud NOW!

Yep, I've definitely seen those. lol You might just have to start cataloging them some other way as a backup method so you don't have to rely on a download history (temp/cache files can take up a fair bit of space if you collect enough). Maybe create your own simple text file with the same name as the zip with the address in it.

My system is sort of integrated. It looks like work, but it's not really. Once the initial things are in place, mainly the folder and the links file, It takes very little time to do things as I am getting the new freebies. A couple of screen caps show it.

After I install things, I move the promo images to my promo image library...a series of folders that categorize the items, along with identifying where I got them. I have this for both freebies and paid items, as I do for the zips and link lists as well.

Get a cold bag. A lot of markets sell them lately. They are lined and help insulate cold stuff from the outside heat. Should be good for a three block walk. If it's really that hot, you could stuff one of those little blue ice packs in there before you leave the house. That would surely keep things cold for the short trip. The cold bags usually cost a couple of bucks.

Good idea! What I do for the major grocery run is get a six of beer, it keeps the cold stuff cold for the 48 minute trip home, A cold bag would be a LOT better, especially for mini-mart runs in the heat of the day. :coolsmile:

i have to close my eyes and dream listening to Sherz. like listening to 'more than a feeling' by Boston.

I always hated that. I worked in north Houston and lived in Texas City. In rushour it took 1.5-2 hours to get home. I bought the beer up in Houston cause it was cheaper but warm by the time i get home. Had to throw a few in the freezer before I could enjoy.

"More Than A Feeling" does that to me too, but I have a lot of memories associated with that song, so.. it comes on and I drift away.. :red:

A song called "Ocean Gypsy" by a band called Renaissance does it as well. :red:
